What is Smart Forensics

Chapter 26
Handbook of Research on Digital Crime, Cyberspace Security, and Information Assurance
The use of smart devices and methods that apply scientific techniques to automatically and autonomously perform digital forensics investigations within Smart Home and similar environments in order to produce forensically relevant and acceptable evidence which can be used to aid private/corporate legal, disciplinary or other such proceedings.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT), a metaphor for smart, functional Cyberphysical Environments (CPE), is finding some usefulness in various sectors including healthcare, security, transportation, and the Smart Home (SH). Within the IoT, objects potentially operate autonomously to provide specified services and complete assigned tasks. However, the introduction of new technologies and/or the novel application of existing ones usually herald the discovery of unfamiliar security vulnerabilities, which lead to exploits and sometimes to security breaches. There is existing research that identifies IoT-related security concerns and breaches. This chapter discusses existing Digital Forensics (DF) models and methodologies for their applicability (or not) within the IoT domain using the SH as a case in point. The chapter also makes the argument for smart forensics, the use of a smart autonomous system (tagged the Forensics Edge Management System [FEMS]) to provide forensic services within the self-managed CPE of the SH.
